At Utah State University, Provost Peter -Wagner tried to avoid cutting classes by "using the coal stockpile, deferring maintenance on roofs and buildings, deferring purchase of equipment for classrooms and labs, and using what financial reserves the university possessed. Finally, 47 classes were cut spring quarter, according to Outlook, the alumni newspaper. "The cuts are painful, but not crippling," Wagner said.

For the opening game of the season, Sept. 13, he gave away tickets for 900 seats. These free football tickets are a public relations tool the president is using to reach out to surrounding communities. "We do have a number of unpurchased tickets at our games," Nadauld said. "Why not use a resource that we do have." High school seniors are sent letters inviting them to the games as a guest of the college. They receive a guest ticket and a parking pass. Nadauld said the letters get the job done even if they don't come. "They get a letter In some cases, the parents receive tickets. Also being sent tickets are community leaders, teachers and principles. Nadauld said the tickets will help to establish a good working relationship between these communities and the school, telling them we think they're pretty neat." He said it tells them we are thinking about them. The first set of tickets given away went to seniors from Tooele High School. The list of high schools to receive tickets to future games include Box Elder, Bear River, Granite and Kearns. Not ail games will have students with free tickets attending. The president said only tickets to games that have traditionally been less popular will be mailed. In part, he attributes the larger than usual crowd of 10,000 at the opening game to the free ticket invitauons.
